Re^4: Resetting variables

Oops! I pasted an older version of my code...at one point I had that sub coded like this, but went to this incorrect way (as I now understand) to try to fix bugs.

sub reset_game {
    ($good_guesses, $bad_guesses) = "";
    $tot_found = 0;
    $found_one = 0;
    $occurrences = 0;
    $all_occurrences = 0;
    $guessed_word = 0;
}

Oops indeed. I spent time on that for you. Once again I don't know what your current code looks like. The code you posted above does give the error message you described, for the reason I described. Your newly posted reset_game() sub will not generate the same error, but still contains a bug. Hint: Why are you putting `[$all_occurrences]` within a character class to check what the user entered, when you've assigned a value of '0' to $all_occurrences? What is that supposed to do?

If you look at my reply here I posted my entire script. $all_occurences is being populated in the check_guess() sub. It keeps a list of index values in the word the player is trying to guess so that when I am printing out the word, I print all of the guesed letters.	[reply]
